Cardston, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - June 26, 2025) - American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) (OTCQB: ACKRF) (the "Company" or "American Creek") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive arrangement agreement dated June 25, 2025 (the "Arrangement Agreement") with Tudor Gold Corp. ("Tudor") pursuant to which Tudor has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of American Creek with the result that the current securityholders of American Creek will become securityholders of Tudor (the "Transaction"). Each American Creek shareholder will be entitled to receive 0.238 of a common share of Tudor ("Tudor Shares") for each American Creek common share held (the "Exchange Ratio").

Following completion of the transaction, existing American Creek shareholders will own approximately 30% of the total issued and outstanding share capital of Tudor on a non-diluted basis, and approximately 33% on a fully diluted in-the-money basis. Currently, American Creek holds a 20% carried interest, and Tudor a 60% interest, in the Treaty Creek Project located in northwest British Columbia. On completion of the Transaction, Tudor will hold an 80% interest in the Treaty Creek Project. The Treaty Creek Project hosts the Goldstorm Deposit, comprising a large gold-copper porphyry system, as well as several other mineralized zones.

Darren Blaney, President and CEO of American Creek, commented: "We are very pleased to enter into this agreement with Tudor. We believe that this transaction that combines the two companies unlocks significant advantages for our shareholders that have supported us and been part of the Treaty Creek project for many years. In addition to the obvious benefit of the 40% premium offered by Tudor, our joining with Tudor provides our present shareholders with 80% exposure to the full potential of future additional discovery and development as the Treaty Creek asset, and the very large gold resource found within, advances toward production. We believe that through the consolidation of our two companies, that Tudor will be much better positioned to secure future exploration and development capital and will also be much more likely to attract a potential strategic partner to assist in accelerating project development towards production. Further, this transaction will potentially also significantly increase Tudor's attractiveness with respect to becoming a potential takeover target by a larger developer. This is the most logical next step in ensuring that the Treaty Creek project moves forward, while providing additional value to our loyal shareholders. The Treaty Creek project is a world class gold-copper project and we look forward to joining with and supporting Tudor management as they focus on moving this project to the next level."
